Tamiya 24219 1/24 Calsonic R34 Skyline GT-R Display Kit  [24219]

Tamiya Calsonic R34 Skyline GT-R 1/24 Scale Replica

The Calsonic Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R is a standout in Japanese GT racing, known for its strong showings in the All Japan GT Championships. This 1/24 Tamiya kit reflects the 1999 race car, capturing the tight proportions and race oriented aero of the original. The roadgoing R34s race variants featured an inline six cylinder twin turbo engine paired with a 6 speed sequential gearbox for rapid gear changes on track.

Assembly Highlights and Model Accuracy

Tamiya models the Calsonic R34s front and rear overhangs with care to retain the cars profile. The grille uses a nylon mesh insert while clear parts represent the under cowl area, adding to the kit's realism. The chassis detail highlights struts and drivetrain elements for hobbyists who like to detail beneath the body.

Race Heritage Captured in Plastic

The transformation from production Skyline to race car included carbon fibre bodywork and pronounced aerodynamic aids such as a large rear wing. Those race specific features are replicated in the kit, making it appealing for collectors and modellers focused on historic touring car replicas.
